Hey everybody, I've been playing a LOT of double up sit and goes, and so far I have a winning record on Cake and Merge at the $10 level.
I deposited $100 to poker stars to try them out, as it is totally obvious from PokerScout that Poker Stars gets at least 10x the traffic than either Cake or Merge.
So far, I have lost about $35 on the $5 Double Ups there (Turbo). The Turbo on PS compares to the standard Cake & Merge tournaments almost one for one in the blind escalation structure, and even the timing between blinds (5 minutes for PS, 6 minutes for Cake).
My question is, do you think the $10 DU's on PS are easier than the $5 DU? My friend Randall who introduced me to DU's said he thought the $10's were easier on Cake than the $5's, simply because the people playing the $5 ones were SO desperate for money they played tighter than the free wheeling $10 players. But he didn't have any data to back up that assertion, just a feeling.
If $10 DU's are easier on PS, I probably need to deposit more money, as $65 isn't enough to play that level. (It's probably not enough to play $5's either, but I think I can overcome that. I don't think I've even ever lost 10 in a row and I've played ~500 games).
